Questions

What BPM is J'aurais Bien Voulu?

210 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is J'aurais Bien Voulu hard to play on drums?

33 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

20 bars, about 0:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 4 exercises over 2 sittings, about 19 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat and kick. Three pieces and no more -- this one is playable on almost anything with a kick, a snare and something to keep time on.
